I wouldn't rule that possibility out… I manage with Firefox on Linux
with a 2GB netbook, but only just: some websites just eat RAM like it's
going out of fashion. Playing videos definitely makes the problem
worse. Comparatively "simple" websites work okay but anything that's
real-time: all bets are off!
I haven't tried OpenBSD on the same machine, but I suspect the problem
isn't limited to browser or OS. Your mileage will definitely depend on
the sort of website you frequently like to visit.
